Those flashlights that you leave plugged in are okay, but they don't last forever. Sooner or later, they're just sitting there in an electrical outlet, dead. But if you pick up your other flashlights and set them down somewhere else, these would be okay as long as you kept an eye on them.

If you want to use a large safety pin to attach things to a mattress (etc), check out your local feed store and ask where they keep the horse blanket pins. Stainless, 3" long, very sturdy. About $1.25 each.

And if you're rappelling down the outside of your apartment building while naked, mind you watch for rope burns. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
